MLB Fans Rightfully Ripped Ump After Bad Call Led to Multiple Ejections /

Major League Baseball fans have long had issues with umpires who either make bad calls or make themselves too much of the game. 

That happened again Saturday night after home plate umpire Adam Beck made a terrible call that led to the ejections of the hitter and the team’s manager. 

It all started when Milwaukee Brewers shortstop Willy Adames wasn’t granted a timeout before a pitch. Then the subsequent pitch sure looked like a ball high out of the zone but was called a strike by Beck. 

Adames wasn’t happy with that and had some words for Beck, who then called Adames for a pitch-clock violation and gave him an automatic strike. That led to Brewers manager Craig Counsell getting tossed from the game. 

Moments later, Adames, who struck out swinging in the at-bat, also was ejected after he had more words with Beck.
